Unit stepped back; her hand stained with my blood and let Angel crawl over to me. She looked me over then started screaming. "Kate! No! Please! Kate!" Her eyes were full of tears which streamed down her face.
Pain, everything hurt. I opened my mouth to scream myself but I couldn't. I couldn't get any air either. Tears blinded my vision and then I started coughing. Next thing I knew, blood filled my mouth and I coughed it out. Angel pressed her hands to the open wound, drenching her fur in blood, trying to stop the bleeding.
Footsteps ran down the stairs, faster than I could make out. And I looked over and saw Finitevus open the door to the room, looking pissed about the noise, but his eyes fell on me, and his face of rage turned to horror. He then sprinted across the room and dropped to his knees by my side.
"Celty!" he called looking over my wound. I couldn't respond. For every time I seemed to open my mouth, more blood would spill out. Finitevus looked to Angel and said "Look for something to cover the wound!" Angel looked franticly around the room, but nothing was in site that could be used.
Finitevus cursed and looked around himself till finally he yelled in frustration and then ripped his cape off. He threw it over my waist and then wrapped it around me tightly to try and bind the wound. Just as he tied it together, the cape started to turn red, soaked with my blood in trying to stop the flow.
"This unit knows you cannot save her. Not with a wound like that." Unit said in a mocking tone. Finitevus looked up at her and scowled at her. He then leaped up and pressed his arm to her neck pinning her to the wall.
"You did this?" He yelled at her. Unit slightly nodded and then said "And I only know how to save her. Now, what are you going to do Dr. Finitevus?"
"Tell me How to save her! Tell me now!" Finitevus yelled, almost screamed at her pushing her into the wall. Behind her the wall started to crack but she just chuckled and whispered something that I could not hear.
By now the pain was so great I could no longer feel it, it was just numb. And everything was becoming blurry. I looked back over to Finitevus and Unit, and I saw Finitevus face become pale. He pulled back from Unit and said "You… set this up… you planed this!"
"So this unit did Doctor. But I wouldn't waist time talking. Kate Alicade's life seems to be slipping away by each passing moment."
Finitevus looked back to me, and let go of Unit and rushed over to me. He then, carefully but quickly moved his arms under me to pick me up. But as soon as he started to life me up I cried out loud.
"Don't!" I cried in pain but he ignored my cry and picked me up, sending waves of pain through me. I cried and screamed now finding my voice as the pain kept coming. Angel stood up and limped after Finitevus as he opened a Warp ring before us, and hurried through.
I looked around. The lab was around us and I let out another cry of pain as Finitevus drew me close to him. He rubbed my head and said "I'm sorry… I don't know what else to do…"
He held me closer, to where my head laid on his chest, and I could hear his heartbeat. Finitevus motioned something to Angel and said "Pull off that white sheet and…and open the door." Angel, doing what she thought is saving me limped over to where a large object stood. I have noticed it before, but never questioned it. What is it?
Angel pulled the sheet down and I gasped as a roboticizer stood tall and ready to be used. I gripped buried my face in Finitevus chest and said "No… no please…" Finitevus hugged me and said "Your injured. I don't have the skills or the equipment to do anything Celty… I can't… do anything else."
"It is a wonder that you have been able to stay awake Kate Alicade. It's only a matter of minutes till you become unconscious and then slowly slip away…"
Unit walked out from beside the roboticizer. How she got there I do not now. But she was ready for us and her eyes glowed like blood. Like my blood.
"When you are roboticized Kate Alicade, your wound will heal at least, in your robotic state. And you will not die of blood loss or the trauma." Unit said and leaned on it. She then looked to Finitevus and said "Of course, I think he should decide since he knows how to start it."
Finitevus looked down to me and said "I'm sorry… I should have gotten rid of this thing. I had built it when you were roboticized before… just in case you ever were a robian again, I could change you back… but now…"
"no…please… Aizen…" I said trying to tell him I didn't want it, but my voice was fading and my world was slipping away from me. But I saw him slightly flinch at the use of his real name.
The binding Finitevus had made out of his cape was now soaked all the way with my blood, and it dripped to the floor. His white fur was now also stained with my blood.
"I'm not going to let you die." He finally said and then walked to the machine. He then said softly "I'm sorry Celty…" Angel, still not understanding what was going on opened the door. I closed my eyes, tears still streaming down. I didn't want to look. I didn't want to see what would happen.
Finitevus placed me carefully on the floor of the capsule and undid the binding so it wouldn't get changed with me. He glanced at his cape once and then threw it aside. He then leaned and wiped the blood off my lips, and then kissed me. He looked depressed as he pulled back and his face was full of regret but he shut the door. He then walked over to a control panel.
I couldn't see much, but I saw Unit move across the room. My blood had fallen on the glass blinding my view, and my head was starting to spin. I couldn't think straight. But I heard yelling and a loud crash. But then the blackness over took me and I fell into a dark sleep.
(third person point of view)
Finitevus closed the door to the capsule and moved swiftly to the control panel. Flipping a switch the machine and the capsule lit up. He looked over the buttons and control settings. Carefully moving the settings to where she would be okay. And set the beam on low, and try to avoid her cybernetics.
Suddenly Unit appeared behind him and shoved him to the side. She moved swiftly typing in commands and even uploaded a small program through a thumb-drive into the system. Finitevus seemed to shocked at first but he then shoved Unit away and said "Back off!" Unit narrowed her eyes and then said "This unit is not done with her yet Doctor… but this unit does not need you anymore."
Then she swung with most over her strength and knocked Finitevus back and he landed against a table full of test tubes that crashed to the ground. The echidna had hit his head so hard it knocked him out on impact and he lay motionless on the floor.
Angel gasped and backed up to the darkest corner of the room. Terrified for her and her sisters life. Unit just chuckled and said "This time… you won't be able to rely on will power to defeat the virus Kate Alicade. You will belong to this unit!" Unit then grabbed hold of a handle and pulled it down, almost breaking it. And then the capsule started to fill up with steam and smoke and there was sounds of things breaking and something combusting.
Unit remembered that anything metal, steel or likewise that was tried to be roboticized would result in a compress before it fired back, creating a small explosion. This included Celty's cybernetics.
The machine quieted down and Unit looked to the door. It slid open automatically and smoke and steam poured out. Behind her she heard movement and looked to see Finitevus had regained conscious and slowly stood up, gripping the side of the table to help him. He was bleeding from where his head had hit the table, but he seemed to ignore it. He looked forward and then to the open capsule.
"Celty…" He said quietly and ran over to the open door. Unit walked calmly since she was closer, and looked over the white echidna that bent over a still figure. There she was, Celty Alicade. She was now once again a robotic lynx. But the difference from last time was that her eyes were completely black. And she didn't move, not even twitch.
"Celty!" Finitevus called shaking the still metal figure. Unit let out a halfhearted sigh and said "Looks like Kate Alicade perished before it started. That or her cybernetics combusting killed her off."
Finitevus looked to where Celty arms and legs, now matching the rest of her robotic body. And tiny remains of blasted cybernetic parts where scattered on the ground. Finitevus gasped and reached in, picking her up slightly, turning her head to his. No light shown to make out her eyes. He had been too late.
He gently laid her back on the floor and hung his head. Unit huffed and said "Shame… this unit was looking forward for a new slave-" she suddenly was cut off as Finitevus swung out and punched her across the face knocking her to the floor. He took in ragged breaths and was desperately trying to hold his feeling of sadness back… tears…
Unit leaped up, now angered at the echidna for getting in her way. She brought out her blade like hand and asked "Do you want to join her too Doctor? What does it matter if she lived or died because of that? If she lived, she would have been my mindless slave. I would have used her to capture you all… turn you into my personal army… capture more… take over more… until this world was mine…"
Finitevus narrowed his eyes and scowled. He then let off something like a low growl and said "I'll die before that happens… And I'll take you with me."
"Brave words for someone who doesn't believe in self-sacrifice." Unit mocked and then charged forward catching Finitevus off guard. She slammed him into the wall, almost smashing him through. The wall cracked and Finitevus glared at her as she held his neck and held him off the ground.
All of this was just a reenactment of when he first faced a robotical lynx. Only this time, this robot hated him. Unit chuckled and held the blade to his neck and then said "To bad she didn't survive. I'm sure this unit would have loved to watch you get slaughtered by your loved one, now a mecha… what would you have called her? Mecha Celty… yes… this unit likes that. Has a nice ring to it. Mecha Celty…"
Suddenly Unit was knocked back with such force she went through a wall, and then landed on the floor hard. She got up, her eyes blazing and looked around for her attacked. Her blood red eyes fell on two shining aura blue ones that belonged to a light brown mecha lynx, who around her neck hung a golden locked that glowed. And then the lynx called out-
"The names Prophet…"
